if you want to make dollars
then you can't have sense
smell the flowers
insurrect and re-elect at the same time mike pence
it doesn't, like I said, make sense

if you want world peace
then you need to fund war
against a house sized enemy
with a friend sized back door
with laboratory practices equal
to a torn screened in porch
genetically selected
modified and contrived to kill

its a shot in the dark
its a shock to the heart
its a shot in the vein
count all the lucky stars that remain
its a shot in the dark
its a shock to the heart
its a shot in the vein
too many scars have been permanently made

as a real young lad
I was sat down in front of a television screen
and told to get mad
feeling bad as I had my gelatin
watching people scream as the air was thinned
and they became skeletons
the stairway to heaven should've had a slide
then those people wouldn't have died frowning
(do you see how stupid that sounds?)

take up thy stethoscope
and walk the roads lined with lead
data centers burning like the grain for the bread
get your personal chefs cricket sandwiches
at the wealthiest's bed and breakfasts

when they say a safe space
for a face
is six feet away
I'd take the recommendation made seriously
just out of arms reach
its where your voice box needs to be
on the corner of happy and healthy
